As lifelong residents of Maryland and the local community, Max's Best Ice Cream fulfills a lifelong father-son dream to open an ice cream shop. Max's Best Ice Cream is named after the family's son, Max, who has always wanted to serve "the best ice cream... in the whole entire world." We decided to get started in Bethesda first!
